32| together

the door of jimin's house got slammed open and a restless jungkook stormed in. "where is he?!"

the floor was full with party decorations, empty beer cans, broken glasses, spilled alcohol- jungkook easily recognized there was a party not too long before he came. and that thought alone made his heart drop. taehyung is scared of parties.

the five males inside looked to the lost male, worry swirling through the whole room. "we don't know..."

"the only thing we know is... someone saw him with bogum." jimin stated, looking at jungkook in pity. believe it or not, jimin accepts the truth now. and maybe he started to get a liking in someone else lately, but that's another point.

important was now to find out where taehyung is.

"bogum?" jungkook asked and hoseok nodded. "he's his ex."

"gosh, this is all my fault." yoongi groaned and everyone looked at him.

"don't say that, it's no one's fault." namjoon said and yoongi shook his head. "it is, i asked him to come along, because he didn't sound good on the telephone.."

yoongi glanced to jungkook, who guiltily nibbled on his lip. "...i promised him to stay with him, but h-he said i should enjoy myself and go dancing..."

jimin placed his hand on yoongi' shoulder looking at him with a sad smile. "it's not your fault."

"where did they saw taehyung with bogum?" hoseok asked. "they said counter, but another dude said they saw them walk outside."

jungkook gritted his teeth and stormed towards yoongi grabbing him by the collar, making everyone gasp. "why the fuck did you ask him to come, when you know how he reacts to parties!? Why did you leave him alone?"

"kook, calm down, taehyung said it's okay." jin said reassuringly. "all of you know about what happened to taehyung... and it's him again, it's bogum again, we don't know what he can do-"

everyone froze when jungkook's phone ringed. the ravenette quickly pulled it out and his eyes widened at the name it said.

"i-it's tae." he whispered and everyone sighed relieved. "a-angel? hey, where are you?" but the relief was quickly gone in the moment the person on the other line answered.

"hello son."

everyone stiffened, looking at jungkook with confused eyes. now everything made sense to the youngest. "where the fuck is taehyung?!" jungkook shouted into the device with everything he had.

"tsk tsk tsk. you shouldn't be so loud, taehyung is asleep."

jungkook gritted his teeth, his eyes filling with tears of anger. "what did you do to him?" he asked and the man on the other line chuckled.

"nothing, everything i do is bringing him somewhere where he can sleep in peace."

everyone widened their eyes, jungkook's hand started shaking. "wh-what?"

"oh don't worry, you aren't deaf. if you don't do what i tell you, you won't see him ever again."

jungkook can imagine the smirk on the man's face while he tells him that.

"i'll kill you if you touch him!"

"your weak ass could never."

"our asses together can." jimin whispered, placing a hand on jungkook's shoulder, giving him a nodding look. jungkook looked to others who smiled at him and to hoseok who gave him to thumbs up.

"tsk tsk tsk, father. you don't know which support this weak ass has." jungkook heard a low growl from the other side.

"i'd be quiet if i were you, or your sleeping beauty dies from the poisonous spindle of my spinning wheel."

"you're sick!" jungkook spat and the man chuckled.

"glad you noticed. now son, you should do what i tell you."

jungkook looked with concern to the others, who just gave him reassuring nods.

"what do you want from me?"

the man on the other line growled lowly at the comment. "taehyung, is really pretty, my son, he must feel nice-"

"don't you dare!"

only a deep laugh was heard from the line now. "poor helpless jungkookie. wanting to save his love, but not knowing how."

jungkook balled his fists. "if something happens to taehy-"

"don't worry, nothing will happen, as long as you do what i tell you."

"what do you want."

"come back to busan."

"why?!" jungkook looked confused now.

"i found someone to marry you off to-

"oh my gosh, shut up?! all these years you tortured me, hurt me, left me... now you're coming back for just this?"

the man on the other line chuckled. "your ugly ass never did something good for our family, have you ever thought about me? how i'm living-

"for fuck's sake, i don't care about you! which family huh? you destroyed everything!"

"okay i'll get straight to the point- marry that filthy girl, so that i can get the money and your lovely taehyung will be on free feet immediately. otherwise, i won't hesitate to kill him."

"you wouldn't dare to do that." jungkook spoke through gritted teeth. the other boys in the room together with the ravenette were bringing the fitting puzzle pieces together and started understanding what is happening. they started to understand what jungkook has gone through and what kind of person that man he once called his father is.

but none of them was expecting the next words. even though jungkook had known it, he had never expected to hear this words from his father;

"i won't hesitate to kill him, your mother is the evidence."

the phone call died.

jungkook looked to the device, then to his friends, who looked at him concerned.

"are you okay?" jin asked, placing his hand on jungkook's shoulder. the black haired looked up, tears forming in his eyes. "i knew... he killed my mother."

jin quickly pulled him into a hug and jungkook cried onto his shoulder. "don't worry, we'll make him pay and get taehyung back."

jungkook looked up from jin's shoulder and locked eyes with jimin, whose words were more than comforting right now. for the first time, there was no hatred, no wrath towards each other.

jimin smiled softly and jungkook smiled back, whispering a quite thank you.

"we should call the poli-"

"no!" jungkook interrupted yoongi. "no... he has taehyung, w-we don't know what he might do if he finds out that we called the police."

"then what are we gonna do?" hoseok asked and jungkook took a deep breath.

"c-can you help me?" jungkook asked unsurely, but everyone immediately agreed. "thank you... he said i need to come to busan, marry that girl- that won't happen, but i need your help to get taehyung back and in safety first."

"do you know where he is?" namjoon asked.

"he'll probably be somewhere in the near where i lived."

"so we gonna go to busan?" jimjn asked excitedly.

yoongi and jin smiled seeing jimin look so happy suddenly. since the moment jungkook and taehyung came out as a couple, the blond looked dead, was always in a bad mood.

"i'll inform my parents and as long as we don't know where taehyung is and jungkook takes care of his family problems, you can stay over. they won't mind."

"that's good." hoseok said and jungkook again looked at jimin with so much gratitude.

"the moment we know taehyung in safety, we'll inform the police." namjoon then said. "your fa- that man has done enough..."

jungkook looked down, clenching his fists. "if he touches taehyung, i'll kill him."

"gosh, finally there's some action in our boring life." yoongi eased the tension.

jimin shortly looked at him, making small eye contact and quickly turned his gaze away, blushing a little. yoongi smirked and jungkook who saw that smiled lightly.

"we're gonna do this, together."
